Hello from London!
It feels amazing to say that :) It's 1 in the morning here in the Grand Plaza (Notting Hill), and I'm writing whilst jetlag. It's been a crazy filled with the Tube, snow flurries, Epsom, and the craziness of Oxford Street. So before I succumb to jetlag and sleep, here's my quick post.
So Mudras. A Mudra is a hand gesture. In dancer lingo, we also call them Hastas (Hasta in Sankrit is hand). Bharatanatyam and other dance forms use mudras to communicate meanings. in Nritta, mudras hold no meaning (just augment the dance) but in Abhinaya, they combine with expressions to provide meaning. (Refer to old videos) The wifi is very spotty here, so I'll have more next week!
